Chapter 354: Killed at Night

Before Mu Xiwan could fully react, Qi Chengan heard the movement and rushed over.

"Are you hurt?"

After Qi Cheng'an walked over, he immediately asked

This time, he didn't do a good job of defense, and he should strengthen his defense with this kind of joint.

"Nope."

Mu Xiwan reacted quickly, otherwise, he might not have been sitting here talking in the first place.

"I'll go out and have a look, this king will definitely give you an explanation, believe me."

With that, Qi Cheng'an left the room.

After Qi Cheng'an heard that Mu Xiwan was fine, his hanging heart also relaxed, and when he saw a dark shadow outside the window, he immediately ran out.

When he went out, the people had already run away, and when Qi Chengan came back again, Mu Xiwan had already stood up with her daughter in her arms.

Qi Cheng'an was very angry in his heart, but there was no way, the person had already run away, and he couldn't catch up.

Seeing Mu Xiwan's eyes, Qi Chengan's footsteps paused, if he was not wrong about that glance just now, the mark of the assassination arrow was from the General's Mansion.

"What? You're not going to tell me they've run away, are you? ”

Mu Xiwan naturally also looked at the mark on the bow and arrow, and the general's mansion is coming to the door now, there must be an ulterior secret.

"Are you sure you're okay."

Qi Cheng'an knew what Mu Xiwan meant, but he had no choice but to change the topic stiffly.

"If both of you are fine, I'll go first."

This matter is not trivial, Qi Chengan is not good at showing clues, and the top priority now is to stabilize Mu Xiwan. ”

Mu Xiwan knew that now was not the time to turn his face with Qi Chengan, so he could only let Qi Chengan leave first.

Qi Chengan confessed a few words, and Qi Chengan left.

It didn't take long for there to be more guards outside the door, and the people on duty didn't dare to be easily discouraged.

"Still not caught?"

After returning to his study, Qi Chengan stayed awake all night and was dealing with business all the time.

The one who walked in was Qi Chengan's bodyguard who had just been sent out to find the man in black not long ago.

The bodyguard walked in, stopped a few meters away from Qi Cheng'an, and said respectfully,

"There was no one left for me to go out, and everyone else searched around, but there was still nothing."

The bodyguard is also very strange, the man in black seems to have said hello in advance, and after startling the snake, he left directly, as if to convey some message.

Qi Cheng'an was not very surprised by this result, obviously expected, if they really let them catch the murderer, it would not be their approach.

"I see, you go down."

Qi Cheng'an continued to look at the folds in his hand.

"Why are you okay?"

The subordinates didn't open up, and they stopped talking, which made Qi Chengan suspicious, so he asked

"Does the prince not care about this matter now?"

The subordinates were also very anxious, but there was no other way.

"The General's Mansion is really threatening me, and this matter will naturally not be handled like this."

Speaking of this, Qi Cheng'an paused, then spoke again,

"You go down first, I know this matter in my heart."

"But, Miss Mu ......"

The subordinates wanted to stop talking, obviously because they came late for Mu Xi, why didn't they see Qi Chengan have other actions.

"Okay, I see, you go down."

Qi Cheng'an didn't understand the worries of his subordinates, and only when he figured out the truth of the matter could he ask the emperor to deal with it.

After Qi Cheng'an dealt with the matter, he passed by Mu Xiwan's room and saw that her room was still lit by candlelight, and after thinking about it for a while, he still walked in.

"I saw that the lights were still on here, so I came in and had a look."

At this time, Mu Xiwan had just coaxed the child to sleep, and when she was about to change her clothes and go to bed, Mu Xiwan walked in.

"I just fell asleep, what's wrong, did you catch the murderer?"

Mu Xiwan didn't know that it was so late, Qi Chengan suddenly came in, what was the matter.

"No, I can only infer that this person from the General's Mansion has an accident, it seems that they have to ask me to go to Shangguan Wanyi, otherwise they will threaten me with your life."

Qi Chengan told the truth and did not intend to hide it.

"And what are you going to do with it?"

Mu Xiwan didn't expect Qi Chengan to come in the middle of the night to talk to himself about this.

"This king hates this feeling of being coerced, and when I meet the emperor tomorrow, I will make it clear."

Qi Chengan said.

Mu Xiwan didn't answer, she didn't know what angle she was answering now, so she could only listen to Qi Chengan.

"I don't have any evidence now, and what I said just now is all my speculation, don't worry, I will definitely find out the real culprit, and return you to your innocence."

Seeing that Mu Xiwan was not interested, Qi Chengan had no choice but to say a few words and left the room.

"I've wronged you tonight."

After finishing speaking, Qi Chengan left the room.

Following

"Zhong Aiqing, do you have a book to play?"

The emperor asked.

The other ministers didn't have anything to do, and Qi Chengan didn't have anything else except for what happened last night.

Considering that now is not the time to speak, I can only meet the emperor alone before I can speak.

"Then let's retreat."

Seeing that everyone else was fine, the emperor spoke.

After Qi Cheng'an finished the morning court, when he was about to go to the emperor, he didn't expect General Shangguan to meet the emperor first.

He knew that the General's Mansion would not be so resigned, so he decided to follow and take a look.

"It's inconvenient for the emperor to see guests at this time."

The father-in-law didn't expect that General Shangguan would find the emperor, so he said in the same tone.

"I'm tired of my father-in-law, say it, the last general will find the emperor in an emergency."

General Shangguan must see the emperor today.

"General Shangguan, you wait here, wait for the old slave to ask."

My father-in-law couldn't help it, so he walked in.

Qi Cheng'an was behind, and he had no intention of going forward, he wanted to see what General Shangguan was going to do when he looked for the emperor this time.

After a while, the door inside the palace was opened again.

"The emperor said yes, General Shangguan, please."

After saying that, General Shangguan walked in.

Qi Cheng'an approached the palace at this time, and happened to see his father-in-law walking out at this time.

"See the Prince."

When my father-in-law didn't see Qi Chengan, he was very surprised, and only then did he speak after returning to his senses.

"Shh

When his father-in-law was about to go in to make a notice, Qi Chengan suddenly grabbed his father-in-law's hand and said softly,

"You go down first, I'll go in when the time comes, but remember not to tell anyone about this."

Qi Chengan wanted to know what General Shangguan wanted to say to the emperor.

"This ......"

The father-in-law was a little hesitant, after all, he had never done this kind of deception.

"Let's go down."

Qi Chengan didn't give his father-in-law a chance to deny it, and spoke directly.

"In the future, this king will not treat you badly."

Sometimes, a combination of hard and soft can do a better job.

"The old slave retired."

After seeing his father-in-law leave, Qi Chengan appeared at the gate of the palace and listened to the conversation inside.

"I heard that my father-in-law said that General Shangguan has something important to do with me?"
